Which Way To Pray

T. Graham Brown

A

A little girl down on her knee,

G D

Sayin': I lay me down to sleep.

A

Lord, bless us with a happy home,

G D

Please make Daddy leave me alone.

Bm A

'Cause the way he kisses her goodnight

G D

She knows that something's just not right.

G D

Does she ask for things to be ok?

G D

Does she ask for wings to fly away?

G A G D

It's hard for her to know, which way to pray.

D A

She made it through those troubled years,

G D

She's not through with pain an' tears.

A

'Cause now, it seems, the man she chose,

G D

Has a side that no-one knows.

Bm A

Her make-up hides the tell-tale scars,

G D

But not the wounds inside her heart.

G D

She ask the Lord for strength to stay?

G D

She ask for help to get away?

G A G D

Sometimes, it's hard to know, which way to pray.

Bm A

Lord perhaps our only prayer

G D Bm

Should simply ask that you be there

A G

To give us comfort when we've lost our way

D A G D

‘Cause sometimes it's hard to know, which way to pray

A

The preacher called and said:Come home.

G D

I'm afraid your Daddy's almost gone.

A

Hate in your heart is no way to live.

G D

Comes a time when you've got to forgive.

Bm A

Suddenly, she was ten years old:

G D

She fought the tears and searched her soul.

G D

Should she ask the Lord to ease his pain?

G D

Or ask for Angels to take him away?

G A G D

Sometimes, it's hard to know, which way to pray.

Bm A

'Cause life is never black and white,

G

There's so many shades of grey.

D A G D

Sometimes we just don't know, which way to pray.

A G D-G-D

Sometimes we just don't know, which way to pray.
